I've checked for other threads on this and I'm fairly sure there isn't a maize based snack forum... so let me bring you the good new!!!

Scampi Nil Naks are back!!!!

UK snacks manufacturer Golden Wonder has decided to bring back its Scampi N' Lemon flavour Nik Naks due to the enormous popular demand for the snack that remains undiminished five years after the snack was withdrawn.
And in defiance of belief I'm offering an opinion!!! I think they're great!!

You're dead right, although I love them I think most people will think they are too revolting to qualify for the Food and Drink forum !

Edit

Obviously some mod thinks otherwise

I used to like them but the smell you get when you open the packet brings back too many memories of my ex-wife!

Hm, I'd have thought if demand was "enormous" then they wouldn't have been binned in the first place.

Apparently the staff in the factory hate making them as they stink afterwards. i think they were had a vote a few years ago on whether they should continue and voted against.

Wonderful news! I love scampi and lemon Nik Naks, and was really disappointed when they didn't seem to be in stock any more!

YIPPPPEEEE yay yay! I adore Scampi Nik Naks! I'm sure I had them recently in Birmingham, never in London though.

Love Scampi Fries too.

Why are there not more varieties of Scampi & lemon crisps/corn snacks? I've only ever experienced those two.

Yipppeee. I didn't realise that scampi and lemon flavoured Nik-Naks had been withdrawn. Great they have made a comeback. They do make your fingers stink afterwards though.

They've been back for ages. They replaced the "Cream n Cheesy" in the multipack. Think I'm the only person in the world who actually prefers Cream 'n Cheesy...wish I could them somewhere!
